  2. Convolution Integral • Commonly used in engineering, science, math • Convolution properties • Commutative: f1(t) * f2(t) = f2(t) * f1(t) • Distributive: f1(t) * [f2(t) + f3(t)] = f1(t) * f2(t) + f1(t) * f3(t) • Associative: f1(t) * [f2(t) * f3(t)] = [f1(t) * f2(t)] * f3(t) • Shift: If f1(t) * f2(t) = c(t), thenf1(t) * f2(t - T) = f1(t - T) * f2(t) = c(t - T). • Convolution with impulse, f(t) * d(t) = f(t) • Convolution with shifted impulse, f(t) * d(t-T) = f(t-T) important later in modulation

  3. Graphical Convolution Methods • From the convolution integral, convolution is equivalent to • Rotating one of the functions about the y axis • Shifting it by t • Multiplying this flipped, shifted function with the other function • Calculating the area under this product • Assigning this value to f1(t) * f2(t) at t

  4. f(t) g(t) 3 2 * t t 2 -2 2 3 g(t-t) 2 f(t) t 2 -2 + t 2 + t Graphical Convolution Example • Convolve the following two functions: • Replace t with t in f(t) and g(t) • Choose to flip and slide g(t) since it is simpler and symmetric • Functions overlap like this:

  5. 3 g(t-t) 2 f(t) t 2 -2 + t 2 + t 3 g(t-t) 2 f(t) t 2 -2 + t 2 + t Graphical Convolution Example • Convolution can be divided into 5 parts • t < -2 • Two functions do not overlap • Area under the product of thefunctions is zero • -2 t < 0 • Part of g(t) overlaps part of f(t) • Area under the product of thefunctions is

  6. 3 g(t-t) 2 f(t) t 2 -2 + t 2 + t 3 g(t-t) 2 f(t) t 2 -2 + t 2 + t Graphical Convolution Example • 0 t < 2 • Here, g(t) completely overlaps f(t) • Area under the product is just • 2 t < 4 • Part of g(t) and f(t) overlap • Calculated similarly to -2 t < 0 • t 4 • g(t) and f(t) do not overlap • Area under their product is zero

  7. Graphical Convolution Example • Result of convolution (5 intervals of interest): No Overlap Partial Overlap Complete Overlap Partial Overlap No Overlap y(t) 6 t -2 0 2 4

  8. Convolution Demos • Johns Hopkins University Demonstrations http://www.jhu.edu/~signals Convolution applet to animate convolution of simple signals and hand-sketched signals Convolve two rectangular pulses of same width gives a triangle (see handout E) • Some conclusions from the animations Convolution of two causal signals gives a causal result Non-zero duration (called extent) of convolution is the sum of extents of the two signals being convolved

  9. A input output CommunicationChannel Tp t t x(t) y(t) ‘1’ bit 1 ‘0’ bit Tp Th t -A Transmit One Bit • Transmission over communication channel (e.g. telephone line) is analog receive ‘0’ bit Th Th+Tp t t -A Th receive‘1’ bit Model channel as LTI system with impulse responseh(t) A Th t Th Th+Tp Assume that Th < Tp

  10. 1 Th t Transmit Two Bits (Interference) • Transmitting two bits (pulses) back-to-back will cause overlap (interference) at the receiver • How do we prevent intersymbolinterference at the receiver? * = A Th+Tp 2Tp t Tp Tp t -A Th Assume that Th < Tp ‘0’ bit ‘1’ bit ‘0’ bit ‘1’ bit intersymbol interference

  11. Th+Tp t Tp -A Th ‘0’ bit ‘1’ bit Transmit Two Bits (No Interference) • Prevent intersymbol interference by waiting Th seconds between pulses (called a guard period) • Disadvantages? * = 1 A Th+Tp Th Th Tp t t Assume that Th < Tp ‘0’ bit ‘1’ bit
